TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Beit known that I, GEORGE R. MOORE, of Lyons, in the county of Clinton, in the State ot' Iowa, have inventeda new and useful Improvement in Water-Valves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section.

.Figure 2 is a side elevation.

Figure 3 is a plan view. i

This valve with my improvements diiiers from others in several particulars. i

First. The valve-barrel A is cast with a solid head at one end, and finished at that end with but a round aperture for the valve-stem B to pass up through it,

' Second. The valve-connection, with the supply-pipe, is made' by means offsection C, which is bolted to the valve-barrel by the bolts del, and thus withoutthe ordinary screw-couplings, economizing in cost ofmanufacturing.

Third. ThexguideE under the valve F is a movable piece, so that it can be placed upon the valve-stem B, with the packing G before it7 the spiral spring I-I after it, and thus all the internal mechanism of theinternal part of the valve-barrel be inserted at one end.

Fourth. The yoke I fits loosely over the stem ,`and the centre holevcut through lit is bevelled at the under side for packing it, (which packing it also holds.) v This yoke adjusts itself by a rotary 4movement to any place. The flange of C may require the bolts cl (l to be perpendicular; and by these bolts d cl, one in either end of the yoke I, and -connectiug with C, the packing G- is held. There is therefore no other coupling-screws for packing the valve, and the cost of manufacturing them is thereby considerably reduced'.

J is an ordinary coupling for holding ai pipe for the water after it has passed the valve. K, a stem and nut for bolting the valve-barrel to other work, should it be desired. f

Having thus fully'described my invention, what I claim therein as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The solid head A, valve-stem B, valve F, packing G, removable guide E, spring H, and pipe-connection C, all constructed and arranged as herein shown and described.
